Ngono MPP Water Resources Development Project (MPP)

The Ngono Valley project (located in the western shores of Lake Victoria and shared by the Districts of Bukoba Rural and Missenyi) will develop a multipurpose reservoir, net irrigated agriculture of approximately 5,825 ha, generation of hydropower, as well as contribute towards sustainable land management of endangered sub-catchments in the Ngono River Basin. The proposed projects are part of the investment projects advanced by Tanzania to the NELSAP for projects preparation and which were prioritized through the NEL Multi-Sector Investment Opportunity Analysis. The project has been phased into two stages as follows: The project includes command areas and a canal for small scale farmers (stage 1), followed by stage 2 which includes a 17m high, 268 MCM Dam, Hydropower plant with installed capacity 1.65MW, mean annual energy production 8.7GWh, irrigation command areas for small- and large-scale farming and will have 100,000 beneficiaries including water supply to 23 villages in Missenyi and Bukoba Districts on the western shores of Lake Victoria, Tanzania. Feasibility studies, detailed design, ESIA have been done, and the project is now seeking implementation funding of USD 243m.
